I'm starting to think I was right…
So… It wasn’t too long ago that I was considering killing my myspace account because well… there just isn’t any traffic there (at least that is useful to me) and it’s just another thing I have to update. Then today, I’m seeing that perhaps I am right. (Sorry Carmel, but I think it has to be done). Today comes news that Owen Van Natta, Myspace’s CEO, is no longer with the company. Whether he quit or was fired (rumored at the moment) it doesn’t matter. When the guy at the top is moved out of the way then you have to question what is going on internally. Plus, have you been to myspace lately? I didn’t think so.
Just to clarify what I mean by useful traffic. For me, as an independent musician/performer (whatever you want to call it) the number one thing on my priorities list in terms of this ‘career’ is my communication with my audience. You guys are my ‘lifeblood’ because without you, I can’t do what I want to do. So, as far as traffic that I consider useful, it’s that one-on-one dialog that I’m able to have with you. I would say that over the past 3 months, I haven’t had any conversations with any fans (friends really, every time I get to know you guys that’s what I’m feeling).
So… myspace… time to go. At least my profile. Perhaps we should all send a message and do a mass exodus. I’m down. Let’s start deleting myspace profiles and help them out. Starting Saturday I encourage all musicians/performers/comedians to follow… let’s start the euthanization.
cheers,
Alex
